Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.

Flash forth lightning and scatter them;
Send out Your arrows and confuse them.

“Turn your eyes away from me,
For they have confused me;
Your hair is like a flock of goats
That have descended from Gilead.

And women rule over them.
O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray
And confuse the direction of your paths.

They are confused by wine, they stagger from strong drink;
They reel while having visions,
They totter when rendering judgment.

Now Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, and the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. But the Lord thundered with a great thunder on that day against the Philistines and confused them, so that they were routed before Israel.

Confuse, O Lord, divide their tongues,
For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
